Current through March 31, 2025
Fees are hereby waived for the following products deemed to be additional brands under the following conditions:
1. The manufacturer's number and product number of the EPA Registration Number (the first two series of numbers) must be identical An EPA Registration Number may be 00000-xxxx or 00000-xxxx-yyyyy. To be considered an additional brand the 0 and the x portions of the number must be identical.
2. The ingredient statement must be the same. By law, labels for each additional brand which claim to be an identical brand must bear some designation that they are the same pesticide (identical in active ingredients) before each can be considered an additional brand. A confidential statement of formula must be submitted to meet this requirement of the law. Accordingly the identical common name or the identical scientific chemical name of the active ingredient(s) must be shown in the ingredient statement of each additional brand name.
3. All directions for use must be the same. Neither product's labeling may contain different sites of application.
4. Only those pesticides or pesticide products registered with EPA by the same manufacturer shall be deemed additional brands. However, they may be produced at different facilities. Distributor labels must be labeled as "sold by" or "distributed by" (Name and address of the distributor). An establishment which produces an additional brand product registered by EPA for another company under contract must labe it as "manufactured for" or "formulated for" or "packaged for" (Name and address of the distributor). All additional brand products registered by EPA must have the proper "EPA Establishment Number" printed on the label or the carton.
5. All additional brand products exempt from EPA registration must be labeled as "packaged and sold by" (name and address) or "packaged by (name and address) for" (name and address) or "manufactured by (name and address) for" (name and address).
6. Registrants with currently registered and labeled pesticides or pesticide products shall have until January 1, 2003 to comply with the labeling provisions of this Section; products found to be non-compliant thereafter shall be subject to enforcement actions and/or penalties as provided for under the Administrative Hearing Procedures and General Rules of Procedure.
